I was just in London for the Content 2.0 conference. I really enjoyed it, especially Marc Canter's opening keynote. (Went out to dinner with Marc too.) Managed to grab dinner the previous night with the TechDev UK gang (Tom, Simon and Paul), and check in on some fantastic work they've been doing. Can't wait until it sees the light of day. I’m very happy to say that Paul Hammond has jumped right in and is contributing hugely after only 5 weeks. Very cool.
In Heathrow on the way back home, bumped into a distant acquaintance, movie director Alfonso Cuaron. Alfonso directed Y Tu Mama Tambien and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. He is a mad genius to be sure. While we were waiting to board the plane his wife called and said he'd forgotten his wallet at home - again. He had literally $20 in his pocket (and was flying to the States for a few days.) He said it happens all the time, and no he didn't need to borrow any money as they'll take care of him on the other side.

I was in the audience for your Content 2.0 presentation, it was great. There's a whole group of us in IBM's emerging tech group in the UK that have been big Flickr users for a while (it's been the main incentive for several digital SLR purchases and a few people starting photography courses too). So it was good to get a bit of an inside perspective on Flickr.
It was the bit about having a deliberately implicit feedback/rating mechanism that I liked. Something I'd realised without ever thinking about it too much until you mentioned why it worked.
Bradley,
I was there too, and agree with Darren: a really excellent presentation that was both informative and inspirational (in the sense of "ah, yes, now I remember why I got into this business in the first place").
You mentioned that, based on Yahoo's experience of user-generated content, you mentioned that 1% of users are 'creators', 20% are 'synthesisers' and 80% 'consumers' (I may have got those percentages wrong, and I think you said they were changing, or that you were aiming to facilitate their change). Do you have any more details on those classifications, or any sources where I can find out more?
Many thanks, David
Hey Bradley,
Doing random searches, I came up with your blog. Thought I'd say hi.
All's well here. Hope all is well with you.

David,
You're probably referring to this entry.
It was the first post on this blog I caught, and it got me hooked to this site. To summarize, the breakdown of creators, synthesizers, & consumers is around 1, 10, & 100 - that is to say, 1% of the population tends to create the content, 10% synthesizes the content, & 100% consumes the content. Each group is inclusive of the one higher up - creators are also synthesizers, and synthesizers are also consumers. I don't know if Bradley may have mentioned something different at the conference, but this is what I got from it based on what was written in the post.
